Function blocks simplify executionof complex control strategies.

Hybrid control systems are configurable from

a menu of more than 125 different types of

software function blocks, each representing a

unique algorithm for a specific control

function. Signal conditioning, logic, function

generators, powerful mathematical

calculations, sequencing, and signal selection

are just some types of the function blocks

available to implement control strategiesranging from simple to sophisticated.

Available CPU options support up to 400,

2,000, or 5,000 function blocks. Function

block types are not limited.

HC900 control loops provide tighter, more

accurate process control to increase

throughput, reduce scrap, and minimize energy

costs. They include applications ranging

from single loop control to interactive cascade,

ratio, duplex, feed forward, three-position-step,

or custom control strategies. The quantity of

loops per controller is not limited. Accutune III

auto tuning is standard on every control

loop to reduce startup time and ensure

on-spec product.

Integrated logic capability can execute all

logic functions approximately every 27

milliseconds and/or be synchronized with

analog processing at 500 milliseconds.

Logic instructions include two-, four-, and

eight-input logic gates, plus traditional

instructions such as timers, flip flops, and

counters. Free-format logic capability

optimizes design by combining multiple logic

functions into one, simplifying operation and

troubleshooting. Both logic control and

process control are configured from the

same Hybrid Control Designer PC based

software tool.

Sequencers control the output states of

multiple digital parameters to control the

sequence of process operation based on time

or process events. Each sequencer supports

up to 16 digital outputs and may have up to 50

process states. Multiple sequences stored in

the HC900 controller can be selected on

demand from the operator interface or as

part of a recipe.

Setpoint programmers automatically

manipulate a setpoint value for use by PID

loops to create a time/value profile for

process batch control. Multiple setpoint

programmers, with profiles of up to 50

segments each, may be configured andstored in the HC900. Any programmer may

run any profile separately or simultaneously.

Each also has an auxiliary soak output and

up to 16 event outputs for integration with

sequence control functions.

A setpoint scheduler provides up to eight

ramp/soak setpoints along with eight soak

only setpoints that operate on a common

time base. The scheduler also supports up to

16 event digital outputs. Multiple independentsetpoint schedulers are available in a

configuration.

Implementation options supportdiverse configuration and I/O needs.

Recipes stored in the controller memory make

it easy to ensure error-free product/process

changeovers. These recipes include variables,

setpoint profiles, setpoint schedules, and/or

logic sequences that can be loaded by operator

action or included as an integral part of the HC900

controller configuration for automatic loading.

Redundancy features maximize process

availability by providing backup controllers,

power supplies and communications for

seamless failover under fault conditions. A

Redundant Switch Module (RSM) is located in

the rack between two CPUs and visually

indicates which CPU is the lead and which is

the reserve. A key switch on the RSM allows

the user to change the operating mode of the

lead and reserve CPUs.

Ethernet network ports are continuously active

on the lead controller, each on a different subnet.

Transfer of communications from one port to

another port on the same CPU is handled by

the host application. A secondary power

supply can also be added to each HC900 I/O

rack for standby redundancy.

Remote I/O capabilities maximize installation

flexibility and reduce wiring and installation

costs, with up to four remote I/O racks able

to connect to a single controller. Honeywell

Ethernet switches accommodate connections

up to 300 meters. Fiber-optic cable with

Honeywell recommended hardware satisfies

connections up to 1,500 meters.

Remote Terminal Panels (RTPs) connect to

HC900 I/O modules using pre-wired cables

to simplify wiring configurations and costs.

Modular design createsbroad application versatility

The modular, scalable HC900 Controller is available in three rack sizes and three

CPU performance levels to handle a wide range of automation requirements.

Analog and digital modules support up to 1,920 I/O points. Universal analog inputs

that accept both direct and indirect inputs from sensors minimize the number of

input cards and spare parts required.

Open Ethernet connectivity enables

HC900 controllers to communicate with

their host interfaces and each other. The

open Modbus/TCP protocol allows interfacing

to most popular HMI, data acquisition and

OPC software. Up to 10 device connections

are supported on the host Ethernet port. An

HC900 network of controllers and operator

interfaces are partitioned into segments on

the network to maximize communication

performance.

Serial Modbus connectivity , using selectable

Modbus RTU capability, allows RS232 and/or

RS485 ports to be configured as Modbusslaves, while one of the ports is selected as

a Modbus master. A wide variety of devices

(touch panel operator interfaces, I/O devices,

etc.) can be connected to the controller to

provide greater flexibility in system design.

application-specific control strategies,

automatically calculating memory usage

and processor scan time as the function

blocks are configured. The user-friendly

graphic development allows partitioning of

the control strategy into multiple worksheets

for ease of recordkeeping, faster access to

functional areas during programming and

better support for user-specified process

function identifications.

Run-mode configuration editing is a standardfeature that can significantly reduce startup

time and avoid costly process shutdowns.

Configuration debug tools simplify

troubleshooting with features such as online

monitoring of multiple function blocks on a

single display, on/off identification of digital

signal flow connections, and output forcing

capability for most block outputs.

Selectable user-defined Watch Windows

and Signal Trace-back provide a clear view

of the configuration operation and quick

identification of potential errors.

System configuration andoperation adapt to your needs

The new 900 Control Station operator

interface provides a large assortment of

standard preformatted displays for controller

monitoring and servicing. Their use shortens

design time, reduces engineering costs, and

facilitates standardization of operator interaction

with the processall while enhancing the ability

to customize easy-to-understand graphic

displays that look like the process the operator

is monitoring.

An extensive array of standard operator

displays and pre-built display widgets are

provided to complement robust control

function blocks such as PID, setpoint

programmers and setpoint schedulers, and

sequencers for the HC900 controller. Display

widgets are intelligent graphic objects that

bind display parameters to the parameters of HC900 controller function blocks through a

single reference, eliminating the time-consuming

process of uniquely identifying the data

source for each display parameter. There is

no need to look up register addresses or

cryptic index locations to identify sources.

The HC900 control station provides trending

objects that can be integrated into displays

to provide a recent history of process

performance. Data logging to an internalcompact flash card is also supported,

allowing access via a network connection

and web server, or a USB memory module.

Logs may be continuous or batch, and can

be stored at specified frequencies using

single or multiple file partitions.
